PoKeys56U card received

Today, I received the PoKeys56U card from http://www.flightsimparts.eu! It landed on my doorstep fast, so that’s great service (thanks Wendy!).

Pokeys interface card

The PoKeys56U card allows for 55 in- or outputs, freely configurable. I
played a bit with the software, which allows you to configure a port
with a specific designation (e.g. ‘digital input’) and an action like a
keypress or a macro.

Just for fun I selected port 12 as a digital input and assigned the ‘g’
keypress to it (you X-Plane users know what it is supposed to do 😉).
I took of in the Cirrus Jet, select chase view and shorted the 2
paperclip pins and… PRESTO! The landing gear was raised. Could be me, but that is just good fun.

If you’re looking for a good interface solution, I can recommend http://www.flightsimparts.eu!
